From August 30 to September 4, JRP documented the Lukodi massacre that took place on May 19, 2004, in Lukodi, Bungatira sub-county, Gulu district. During this time, our documentation team interviewed more than 20 community members living in Lukodi who either had knowledge of or were survivors of the massacre.

Preliminary findings indicate that Lukodi, like many other massacre sites in northern Uganda, continues to suffer the long-term effects of the conflict, with victims in dire need of psychosocial support and peace-building interventions.

The data gathered during this period is currently in the write-up stage and will be released in the form of a JRP field note by the end of the year.
